Beth is a mother of four and grandmother of five who was very involved with the skating executive in the late 1990's and early 2000's. Fast forward to 2024 when her grandson started skating and the club needed a Test Chair—and here she is! Beth is a native Saint Johner who dabbled in CanSkate many years ago and played girls high school hockey when it was initiated in the 1970's. She has a Masters of Science in Speech Language Pathology and worked as a paediatric Speech Pathologist for 39 years at Horizon Health.  She has volunteered for nearly thirty years sewing costumes for the Kennebecasis Valley Players and KVHS.  In her spare time, Beth loves to travel, particularly to Europe and the British Isles.  She has enjoyed volunteering at the club and would encourage any interested parent or grandparent to do so.

 

 

 

From his very first steps on the ice, power skating was the foundation of Wade's hockey journey. He was taught early that strong skating skills are the key to becoming a successful hockey player—a lesson that has stayed with him throughout his career and now inspires his philosophy.

 

Wade went on to play AAA hockey throughout his minor hockey career, and later had the opportunity to participate in the Boston Challenge Cup. He continued his competitive career playing Junior B hockey in Belledune, where he further developed his skills, work ethic, and understanding of the game. While his competitive playing days eventually came to an end, Wade's passion for hockey never did. He continues to stay involved in the game through community leagues and looks forward to sharing his passion and knowledge with generations to come. 

 

Through his recent experience with Hockey Ministries, Wade had the opportunity to mentor and teach youth, helping players build confidence, improve their skills, and develop a love for the game. He believes every player deserves a positive, encouraging environment where they can grow both on and off the ice.

 

As a power skating volunteer, Wade's goal is to help players of all ages and skill levels build strong skating fundamentals, increase their confidence, and develop the speed, balance, and edge control needed to succeed in hockey. He combines his competitive playing experience with a passion for teaching to create engaging, supportive, and challenging sessions that help every skater reach their full potential.

 

Joe grew up playing AAA hockey in Montreal and New Brunswick before leaving home to play Junior ‘A’ in Ontario and the Maritimes. Afterwards, he played college hockey for four years before finishing his career playing in Sweden.

Joe has been training youth hockey players over the summers in North America and Europe for 20 years.
